Circular Economy
Source materials and equipment which have the lowest environmental impact.
Prioritise second hand and rented items where possible. When purchasing new items, consider the material quality and durability, with particular focus on their next life after production.
Organic, non-toxic and environmentally friendly material and products should be used where possible.
Semi-permanent and cloth garment bags should be used. Single use plastic garment bags should not be used.
Develop an Asset Disposal Plan to identify options for donating, reusing or repurposing items at the end of the production.
Place waste food, packaging and materials in the appropriate waste stream.
Carbon Calculator
Assist the Sustainability Advisor to obtain environmental information from suppliers.
